Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 11

Lacey got a phone call from her parents on her way to the party.

“I think we shouldn't invite Zeke to the party,” Daniel said.

“What? Why?” Lacey asked in confusion.

“I mean, look at Jeremy's son-in-law. He's a section chief in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau,” Daniel sighed. “Zeke is just a small office worker. Frankly, he's a leech in our family. Our relatives are going to make fun of him.”

“But Uncle Jeremy has insisted on Zeke joining us. Won't he get angry if Zeke doesn't show up?” Lacey asked.

Daniel paused for a few seconds. “Fine. Let him join us then. We have to listen to Jeremy's request.”

After hanging up on the call, Lacey turned to look at Zeke.

She suddenly didn't want Zeke to join the party anymore.

If she compared herself to Jeremy's daughter, Lily Hinton, they were worlds apart.

Lily would definitely show her section chief husband off at the party.

The only reason Jeremy had invited Zeke was to make fun of Lacey. The thought of it hurt Lacey's head.

She turned to look at Zeke who was soundly sleeping in the passenger's seat and sighed, “You sure are useless...”

The two of them arrived at the Royal Hotel not long after that.

One of the luxurious dining rooms was already filled with people.

Not only has Jeremy invited Lacey and her family, but all the other relatives as well.

The party was as huge as a wedding party.

Both Lily and her husband, Skye Hans, were the focus of the party.

All the relatives were busy congratulating Jeremy. Not one of them noticed when Lacey and Zeke came in.

“Skye, you're amazing. I can't believe you're already a section chief at such a young age.”

“Lily has surely found herself a great husband. They’re such a perfect match!”

“Hans, please take care of my son once he graduates, okay?”

Lily Hinton was proud when her relatives praised her husband, while Skye pretended to be humble.

Lacey let out a breath of relief when she realized that none of her relatives had noticed her.

However, she was relieved too soon, as Lily soon noticed them. “Lacey! Welcome. So, what does your husband do?”

The moment Lily opened her mouth, everyone shifted their attention towards Lacey and Zeke.

“H-he works at my factory...” Lacey stuttered.

“He works for you? So, he's basically living off of you?” Lily half joked.

The crowd exploded into laughter, embarrassing Lacey.

“Hey, I'm just joking. Don't get angry at me, alright?” Lily finally said when the laughter died down. “But his future is doomed if he continues to work in a factory. Skye, why don't you give him a job?”

“That's going to be hard,” Skye laughed wryly. “I heard he was an ex-convict?”

“That's right! How could I forget Zeke has been locked up for five years!” Lily exclaimed.

That statement garnered everyone's attention.

They could not believe Lacey's boyfriend used to be a prisoner.

If they compared Lily and Lacey's partners, they were like heaven and earth.

Even though the relatives said nothing, their stares were enough to kill a person's soul.
